Thank you, Mr. Chair. You know, that is an ongoing challenge right across the board. Let's take example we are trying to move forward with the Bear River Bridge. The Hamlet of Tulita, which is right there at the doorstep, we are working closely with everyone in that community. They have formed a Bear River Working Group Committee amongst all the user groups within the municipality, be it Indigenous groups or the municipal government, to try to be able to figure out a way to capitalize on this. Our department and our ADM is working closely with them.

One of the other things I think that we looked at and it came up in the House a couple times is around some of these projects and have a serious look at some of the ones that we can break out to utilize a little bit more local capacity instead of having these projects that are too large for some of these, you know, smaller to mid-sized companies that can't capitalize on it. We are continuing to engage with the people across the Northwest Territories and the contractors and through the NWT Construction Association and such and the Chamber of Commerce to try to address some of these things. We will continue to work on that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
